1974 Cadillac Coupe Deville Base 2-door 7.7l (472 C.i.) on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:59787
Location:

Redondo Beach, California, United States

Redondo Beach, California, United States

This is a beautiful 1974 Coupe De Ville, White over Black Leather. It has black leather seats with a new carpet kit throughout. Even the door panels, which normally show sign of fading, cracking and "elbow wear," are in excellent condition. The dash pad does have a crack in it but I cover it up with a dash mat.  Headliner is in excellent condition. It is the "new appearance" of the inside of the car and great paint that will really attract the period conscientious buyer, all items are correct down to the original floormats.

I inherited this Southern California garaged car in 2013 from the estate of a great uncle who drove this car for 37 years. The mileage is original at 56K.  He had a ranch and two trucks and a Buick and this was his “Sunday car” where he would go and to dance and play bingo.

The engine and transmission are truly mechanically sound. I just had the car tuned with new spark plugs, new wires, pcv valve, a new QuadraJet 750 cfm mechanical choke carburetor with 360 Degree Airfilter.  Very recent oil change and filter, all fluids have been topped off and rear end fluid was drained and refilled.   The car is in great condition.  I chose to do some restoration of parts that would deteriorate with time which included spending money on new front leather interior, carpet kit,  new battery, flush condenser and evaporator, replace some hoses, and service the brakes and new wiper blades. The clock is inoperative (very common on these cars but can be exchanged. 80% all original paint with some very minor imperfections here and there (great uncle was an avid golfer so there is a golf ball dent on the roof) but other than that it is good. There is absolutely no rust in the body panels and underneath the car is solid.  Electric windows, seats, aerial, wipers. Heater blows toasty and A/C is ice cold. The trip meter sometimes gets stuck but the odometer keeps excellent track of its original 56,787. The stereo system has been swapped out for a AM/FM Radio, MP3, Ipod with USB port.  New Sony 6”x9 “ speakers installed professionally on rear deck lid and reupholstered.

Mary Barra thinks GM is a leader in autonomous tech

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Saying General Motors is "among the leaders" in autonomous vehicle technology, CEO Mary Barra rapped about her company's driverless work in an interview with USA Today. Barra covered a number of topics, including well-known efforts, like Cadillac's upcoming Super Cruise technology, as well as hinting at "a lot of efforts that are confidential." "Things are moving quickly in autonomous [cars] because there's so many different pathways and the standards aren't even set. A lot of people can claim leads because people are making advancements in different areas," Barra said. "Next year we're going to have Super Cruise on one of our Cadillacs. On highways you'll be able to take your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals – with a very creative way to make sure the driver is alert and involved in the driving process." As for those "confidential" efforts, feel free to speculate. GM has recently confirmed that it'd be running autonomous Volts at its Warren, MI tech center, which certainly indicates that the company is playing with much more than Super Cruise. GM will need to continue to embrace autonomous driving, owing to both traditional competitors like Toyota, as well as non-traditional opposition, like Google and Apple. Speaking of its competition from Silicon Valley, Barra was asked about two of the region's biggest names – Apple's Tim Cook and Tesla boss Elon Musk. "I have tremendous respect for Tim Cook, and I don't really think he needs advice from me," Barra told USA Today with a laugh. And when asked about Apple's future as a "viable competitor," she said, "I have no insights other than what I read in the papers. But it would be foolish for me not to assume that they're going to." As for Mr. Musk's openness about future products and how it contrasts with GM's relatively closed attitude, Barra also gave a chuckle. "I'm sure you would like me to say yes. I think we're fundamentally different. Look at our volume and look at the segments where we compete. His product line – his two products – his scale, it's completely different." The rest of Barra's interview is certainly worth a read, and includes talk about the Volkswagen diesel scandal, GM's changed relationship with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Uber. Head over to The Detroit Free Press website for the full story from USA Today.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
